What a gem! Coastal, beachy boutique vibe. Right on the gulf, nice heated pool with hot tub and kids pool, shuffle board, kids play set on the beach c beach chairs and umbrellas. Clean, well maintained, beds and pillows comfortable and a friendly, friendly courteous staff. Parking is across the street but in April was not an issue.

I like the cleanliness of the room and other areas of the property. The hot tub was amazing 😍. What I didn't like was I had to wait almost 2 hours after check in for my room however, the reason was understandable. This is just a suggestion. Towel racks with clean towels should be placed in the pool and hot tub areas.

The main building was probably where we should have booked a room. But despite knowing that the North Building was not on the ocean side, the rate was not worth the quality of the room. The room was spacious, but the furniture looked like they have not been replaced since the 90’s. The microwave was making a loud noise when running. The property was old and unkempt. More of a really dated motel. We checked in at the main building lobby. They didn't have our reservation in the system. It was nice that we were able to use the hot tub in the main building ocean view. We will not choose and stay in this hotel/motel again.

Nice place. Great value. We had a few issues with our room. The sink leaked water all over the floor. Fellow came promptly and fixed it. The smoke alarm kept going off, after four visits by a repairman, he just removed it from the wall. Again prompt service. We were woke from a sound sleep the fourth time. I guess we expected a bit of a deal for all the inconvenience (maybe a free night)!!
